Road to boredom

Sir: I may have been a second-hand book- seller for too long, but The Road Names of Thatcham and Teach Yourself Practical Concreting don't sound all that boring to me (Letters, 30 April).

For real boredom at a deeper level it's hard to beat the old Left Book Club title, Turn Left, Canada, by M.J. Coldwell (1945). 18 Robert Gill
